The stitch that sewing machines do is obviously topologically impossible -- so when I first learned to sew, I stared at the mechanism, advancing it slowly, for quite a while to convince myself that it really can work. But even having done that, it's still so clearly not possible that I always forget how it works, and so I have re-figured it out several more times since then. I therefore have come to realize that in fact I am right that it's not possible, and the truth is that sewing machines are magical -- and those times when I convince myself otherwise, it's just part of how the spell is designed to confuse those who get too close to it.
So clearly this animated gif is a sign that the "sewing machines aren't magical" conspiracy has come into the internet age.
